Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave
« Last post by Rispa on Today at 04:22:29 AM »Ruby Supreme is link, has seeds (I don't think it has a many, but I don't have much experience with how many other cultivars have). It can be eaten hard and is good with a little salt. It can be ripened and eaten as a sweet dessert. Ripen past that and it makes a good air freshener.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Carissa/Natal plum ...
« Last post by ramiroflores on Today at 04:01:18 AM »I have a Natal plum which is about 10 years old, 6 ft high and about 4 ft wide ... I have never pruned it ... should I prune it and if so, when? At the moment it has lots of fruit on it ... so probably not best to do it now?

Citrus General Discussion / I have the problem.
« Last post by Chaused on Today at 04:01:06 AM »Hi. My Bearss lime has outgrown its container (22" in diameter) and I need a larger one. It would be convenient to build one out of cedar DYI, add soil, and replant the tree.
However, cedar and redwood leach a lot of tannic acid and possibly other stuff. Would that be a concern?
Lining the inside with fiberglass would not be cost effective....
Thanks.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave
« Last post by sc4001992 on Today at 02:29:25 AM »I just saw a fruit of Ruby Supreme and it looks like a good one, with lots of tropical guava aroma.
But the fruit I had picked off the ground was over ripe so not a good one to determine the taste of it. I got some cuttings, so I hope to get some fruits in a few years. The fruit I had looks similar to this photo of the Ruby Supreme but more over ripe if you can picture that. Flesh was dark pink, almost red.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: One Seed Loquat Fruit
« Last post by sc4001992 on Today at 02:07:02 AM »MedallionBell, welcome.
You should start your own post about your tree and air layering.
This post is about One Seed Loquat fruits. Of course, if you tree has fruits with one see like I see in your photo then you are on the right post. So does most of your loquat fruits have only 1 seed as your photo shows?
To answer you question, yes air layering a tree that large is good since you can get many plants from it. You can search "air layer" on YouTube, the technique they use applies to most fruit trees.
I have many larger loquat trees, but it is just too much of a hassle for me to have air layers on the tree. I hear from people who do it, it will take 4-6 months to get enough roots to be able to cut it off the tree. If someone has any seedling loquat that is about 1/4" diameter thick, it's much easier to graft it from your tree and the roots will be much stronger on that grafted plant. I would think any air layered plant could take 1 year before its roots start to be strong enough to start growing out without keeping it in the shade. My air layered lychee plants took 2 years after removing from mother tree before it could be put in direct sun to continue to grow.
